Freeman Throws 5 TDs as Chiefs Break Super Bowl Drought

Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Josh Freeman threw 5 touchdown passes while the Chiefs rolled up 210 rushing yards and the defense held the Green Bay Packers’ offense to 250 yards in a 38-21 victory. Freeman joins Doug Williams, Steve Young and Trent Dilfer to become the fourth former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback to win a Super Bowl …

I’ve never seen a Pro QB miss that throw that badly before.* Had to correct myself before someone tries to nit pick my words.

That one pass where Free threw the ball 2 yards over Martins head when he was no more than 4 yards away from him and as open as you’ll ever be in the NFL is my breaking point. I’ve never seen a Pro QB miss that throw before. Ever. Dont think I’ve seen it in College either. There is just no excuse for that. Thats not even an accuracy problem. To be honest I’m not sure what problem that is but something is very wrong with Josh.

I would not advocate getting rid of Freeman. Let’s remember that Eli was lousy for the 1st three years of his career. I know Josh has already passed that window of TIME but has he passed it in terms of experience in a single system and coaching consistency? Don’t think so. I’m in favor of keeping Josh and working on his footwork, awareness, arm strength, accuracy, etc. Let’s not forget that time in the pocket is important to completing passes. (That’s why it’s stupid to rush Brees with 2 or 3 down linemen!!!) I’m hoping for a healthy Joseph and Nick all next year to assess if Freeman should be moved.

Johnny U was 23 years old when he first started for the colts, and was most valuable player in the NFL. He was 25 for the famous “Greatest game ever played”.

You either got it or you dont.

Free will be around for sure next year, lets hope for a transformation, as all the excuses have left town. And breaking in a new guy is a sickening proposition.

Maybe its better if Freeman is off the last 2 games. Otherwise he’s likely to continue as our starter next season.

I look at the performances of other QBs in the league, and i try to place Freeman among them and who i would rather have as qb for the next 6 years. When I answer that question, Freeman, despite his current inconsistancy, ranks very high, and it is not because he is the qb most familiar with the system or some jibberish like that. It is because he offers a type of offense that is seemingly unstoppably high-powered, more so that pretty much any qb, when it is run properly. I would be saddened if the bucs were to switch to a peyton/brees dink and dunk style. that is 7-10 yard throw after throw.

The Bucs without some serious defensive breakdowns this season would be easily in the playoffs at this point. The Bucs, for the most part fixed the offense this past offseason. I expect they will fix the defense in the upcoming months, and 2013 will be a playoff year. 2014 and beyond and the Bucs will be an elite team. They just have to stay on plan.

Don’t leave out the coaching staff. Did they forget that the success earlier this year was due to setting up the run with the pass?
